Golden Hall of Taihe Palace, Taoist temple in Kunming, China.

The Golden Hall of Taihe Palace stands as a three-level wooden structure with white marble railings and decorative water-spouting dragon heads beneath the posts.

Built during the Ming Dynasty under Emperor Yongle's reign, the palace underwent multiple reconstructions and received its current name after the Qing Dynasty established Beijing as capital.

The palace features thousands of dragon designs, traditional Chinese architectural elements, and serves as a center for Taoist religious ceremonies and celebrations.

The structure occupies 2,377 square meters of space, making it the largest historical wooden hall in China with eleven rooms in width and five in depth.

The meridian line of the capital city extends along a stone path with dragon patterns, leading to the platform and passing directly beneath the emperor's throne.
